MAIN FEATURES  
• Plays Mp3, CD, and CD-R Discs  
• Selectable elapsed, remain, & total remain time display  
• Digital Anti-Shock  
• Real time cue (“Cue on the Fly”)  
• Sleep Mode (c)  
• Selectable Voltage  
• Auto cue  
• Selectable Single or Continuous Play  
• Fader “Q” Start Control (a)  
• Digital RCA coaxial output  
• Flip-Flop (Relay Playback) (b)  
• Loop IN/OUT function  
• Large bright Digital Screen can be viewed from wide angles.  
• Pitch display  
• Adjustable Pitch Percentages: +/-4%, +/-8%, or +/-16%  
• Instant Start within 10 ms (sound is produced immediately when the PLAY button is pressed)  
(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American  
DJ® audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) CDI-100  
Mp3™ players. Connect your CDI-100 Mp3’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set up is  
completed load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your CDI-  
100 Mp3 playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) CDI-100 Mp3 players and a Fader “Q” Start  
mixer, if your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode),  
and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will return to  
cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and  
player two (2) will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After  
storing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving  
the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the CDI-100 Mp3 player (see  
setting cue points page 16). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing  
effects with your music. Note: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2  
(Normal Setting).  
(b) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For  
FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) CDI-100 Mp3 players. Connect your CDI-100 Mp3’s as described in  
the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example,  
if player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to  
play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 22.  
(c) SLEEP MODE: The CDI-100 Mp3's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity  
(when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just  
press the cue or play buttons.

3. STARTING PLAYBACK - Figure 9  
Insert an audio CD as describe on page 14 (LOADING/EJECTING DISCS).  
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (11) with an audio CD inserted will imme-  
diately start playback. The PLAY (23) indicator will glow as soon as playback  
begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be  
stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the  
point at which playback started) when the CUE BUTTON (12) is pressed.  
4. PAUSING - Figure 9  
This function pauses playback at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUT-  
TON (11) was pressed. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (11) will switch  
between play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the PAUSE  
INDICATOR (23) will show in the LCD DISPLAY (1). The PLAY/PAUSE button (11)  
LED will also begin to flash repeatedly.  
Figure 9  
5. AUTO CUE  
This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source when a  
CD is inserted. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If  
a new track is selected before the PLAY BUTTON (11) is pressed, a new CUE  
POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point.  
6. STOPPING PLAYBACK - Figures 9 & 10  
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue  
the track, this functions allows the unit to begin play instantly. The drive mecha-  
nism will only stop if a disc is ejected or the unit has gone in to sleep mode.  
There are two ways to stop (pause) playback:  
1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (11) during playback. This will pause play-  
back at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (11) was pressed.  
2) Press the CUE BUTTON (12) during playback. This will pause playback and  
return the track to the last set cue point.

DURING NORMAL PLAYBACK, pressing the TIME BUTTON (2), will change the  
time display information (31) in the LCD (1). The following is a break down of the  
time settings and their definitions:  
1) REMAIN (28) - This details the time in the LCD (1) as the current tracks’  
remaining running time.  
2) ELAPSED (25) - This details the time in the LCD (1) as the current tracks’  
elapsed running time.  
3) TOTAL REMAIN (26) - This describes the time in the LCD (1) as the disc total  
remaining running time.  
Figure 19  
TIME BAR INDICATOR - Details the time defined in the TIME METER (31) as a visual bar icon. As with the  
TIME METER (31) this bar is also dependent on the selected time function [REMAIN (28), TOTAL REMAIN (26),  
OR ELAPSED (25)]. This bar will begin to flash when a track is ending regardless of which time functon you  
i
are in. Use the flashing bar as a visual reminder that a track is ending.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
11. PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:  
You can activate the Pitch SLIDER (4) by pressing the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (5). When the button LED is  
lit, the PITCH SLIDER is active and the pitch can be adjusted. When the button LED is not lit. the AUTO BPM  
counter is active and the PITCH SLIDER is not active. The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's  
playback speed to be manipulated. This speed manipulation is commonly used to beat match between two  
or more music sources such as a turntable or another CD player. The playback speed may be increased or  
decreased by a factor of +/-16. The next section details the different pitch manipulation schemes.  
1. PITCH SLIDER (4):  
This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH."  
The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-16%. The  
PITCH SLIDER (4) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the  
slider is moved up (towards the top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the  
slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase.  
The PITCH SLIDER adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%,  
or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next  
page). This pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when  
the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (5) is turned on. The pitch adjustments will not  
affect your samples.  
Figure 20  
Activating the Pitch SLIDER (4): To activate the PITCH SLIDER you must  
turn on the pitch adjustment function. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (5) located  
at the top right of the unit. The ON/OFF BUTTON (5) LED will glow when the  
function is activated. If the pitch function is not activated the PITCH SLIDER  
will not function.  
Figure 21  
Using the Pitch SLIDER (4): Be sure the pitch function has been activated  
as described above. To use the PITCH SLIDER slide the slider up and down.  
Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease the pitch.

CDI-100 Mp3 Instruction Manual Page 19  
PITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (4): You may change the  
PITCH SLIDER'S (4) operating range at any time. To change the operat-  
ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 21. The pitch  
percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, and +/-16%. 4% will  
allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the most  
amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different ranges, press the  
PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (5) and tap on the PITCH RANGE BUTTON (6)  
until your desired value is reached, see figure 34.  
Figure 23  
2. PITCH BENDING:  
Unlike the Pitch SLIDER (4) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed  
during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (8) or with the  
JOG WHEEL (9). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work  
in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (4) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (4) is set to a 2%  
pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of +/- 16%.  
NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely.  
Holding down or tapping on the (-)  
PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will provide  
a slow down in the playback pitch.  
Holding down or tapping on the (+)  
PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will provide  
a speed bump in the playback pitch.  
Figure 24  
Figure 25  
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (8):  
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will  
decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time  
the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) is held down continuously as in figure  
25, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain.  
When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) the disc speed will automatially return to it’s previous set  
c
speed.

CDI-100 Mp3 Instruction Manual Page 20  
PITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
3. JOG WHEEL (9):  
The JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode  
Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and  
rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will slow your track pitch.  
The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL will determine pitch bend percentage  
(%). For example, if the JOG WHEEL is continuously turned in a counter-  
clockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decrease and will con-  
tinue to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100% and playback  
stops entirely. When you stop turning the JOG WHEEL the disc speed will  
automatially return to it’s previous set speed.
